TO YOU WHOM I SAW ONCE by LEXIE DEAN ROBERTSON

First Line: I REMEMBER / THAT YOUR EYES WERE TRANQUIL
Last Line: AND SECRET DREAMS.
Subject(s): DREAMS; HEARTS; LOVE - BEGINNINGS; MEMORY; PASSION; NIGHTMARES;
I REMEMBER
that your eyes were tranquil
with the shining loveliness
of some dark pool
that holds the mirrored radiance of stars.

I remember
that your smile
was like an unexpected glimpse
of lifted wings—as when a cardinal
flies home against the dusk.

I remember
that I might have hid my face
against your heart,
confessing all my fears
and secret dreams.
